It seems the cookie does not get unset automatically. However you can do this in your controller just before you return the redirect response after logout.

public function getLogout() {
    // your code here
    .....
    // Get remember_me cookie name
    $rememberMeCookie = Auth::getRecallerName();
    // Tell Laravel to forget this cookie
    $cookie = Cookie::forget($rememberMeCookie);

    return Redirect::to('/')->withCookie($cookie);
}

Just remember to return the cookie with the redirect, otherwise it won't work.
